Is the gray vegetable poisonous?

1. Is it toxic?

There was a folk legend that this plant was poisonous. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Because some people mistake the seedlings of "Datura" for this plant, and therefore think it is poisonous. Another situation is that people consume too much and develop certain symptoms, which make them think that the plant itself is poisonous. We need to understand that it is not poisonous. However, one thing that needs to be noted is that it is similar to the seedling of "Datura". Therefore, they must never be confused, because the real "Datura" is poisonous. However, we cannot say that the gray-gray vegetable is poisonous just because they look similar.

2. Notes

(1) Although this plant itself is not toxic, it contains many photosensitizing substances. Therefore, in some cases, if people eat it or their skin comes into contact with its juice and is exposed to sunlight at this time, they may develop "solar dermatitis". Also, eating too much is not good. If you eat too much at one time, or eat it continuously for a period of time, it is likely to cause "edema".

(2) Also, if you observe a plant with purple on the back, you need to be careful. Don't eat it, because it is poisonous.

3. Expert advice

(1) Avoid eating those with purple back. In addition, it is safer to blanch it in water before eating.

(2) It is best to take it after eating it, and it is best not to expose it to the sun. Also, pay attention to whether there is any juice on your hands. If so, be sure to wash them off immediately.

(3) Even if you consume it, do not consume it in excess and do not consume it for a long time continuously.
